The new CapaCity. The CapaCity L.More space in the city.

32

King of the urban jungle.The new CapaCity and the CapaCity L. Urban centres are increasingly expanding into megacities, and a mobility solution is needed to meet this challenge. A city bus that combines an enormous capacity with surprising manoeuvrability. A city bus like the new CapaCity and the CapaCity L from Mercedes-Benz—at home in the urban jungle.

CapaCity and CapaCity L: capacities for conurbations.

The new CapaCity and the CapaCity L. Two large-format buses are available from Mercedes-Benz with immediate effect. With a length of 21 metres and room for 191 passengers*, the familiar CapaCity L sets standards as the largest public transport bus. And then there is the new CapaCity. With space for 181 passengers*, it is a little shorter at 19.73 metres to meet the requirements of transport operators. Based on the Citaro modular system, a comparison between the CapaCity and CapaCity L shows that the former has two body elements fewer on each side of the joint.

The ideal choice for conurbations. Day after day, something is changing on streets in Germany, Europe and all over the world. Public transport is characterised in many places today by growing passenger numbers, leading to an increasing demand for a large-format bus in urban centres. The new CapaCity and the CapaCity L are the ideal choice for this role, effortlessly tackling city routes with high passenger volumes. They are also perfect for specialised BRT systems with a separate lane. Their significant carrying capacity is impressive, and they offer a speedy passenger flow and excellent manoeuvrability.

The intelligent solution for high-volume routes. Steering, drive and dimensions reflect an intelligent overall concept based on tried and widely trusted series technology. The new CapaCity and the CapaCity L also accommodate individual customer needs and requirements when it comes to design. The ideal combination of tremendous capacity and remarkable flexibility when it comes to usage and route planning, these large buses from Mercedes-Benz contribute significantly to the reduction of inner city traffic density.

Efficiency on a grand scale.

In addition to size, the CapaCity demonstrates its value in terms of efficiency. Referring to one passenger its efficiency really shines when it comes to fuel consumption, especially when viewed over the entire life cycle.

Low maintenance and consumption. A crucial factor influencing its efficiency is to be found in the CapaCity family tree. It is based on the proven Citaro platform, a requirement for ease of maintenance and repair and low upkeep costs. Both drivers and technicians will recognise the familiar Citaro features. The focus is also on efficiency when it comes to the powertrain, with the fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz OM 470 engine of the Citaro lending this large bus its real strength.

Top performance on the road. And in the workshop.

Benchmark for efficiency and ecology. The ease with which the CapaCity can be maintained and repaired can be traced back to its roots. Born of the seasoned Citaro modular system, it benefits in more ways than one from this pedigree. Development of this maturity reduces maintenance and repairs to a minimum. Moreover, every hand movement is familiar, right from day one. Not only are maintenance-related components in exactly the same place as with the Citaro G, they are also very easy to access. That simplifies tasks in the workshop, enhances availability and, as a result, reduces downtimes and costs.

Driven by economy and power. The Mercedes-Benz OM 470 BlueEfficiency Power engine conforms to Euro VI emission standards and is ideally suited to routes with heavy passenger volumes and specialised bus rapid transit systems. Two performance classes—265 kW (360 bhp) with 1,700 Nm torque and 290 kW (394 bhp) with 1,900 Nm torque—are available for this purpose. A wealth of innovation is to be found in the latest generation of this heavy-duty in-line six-cylinder engine. Significantly higher maximum injection pressure, a patented exhaust gas recirculation solution and a new turbocharger—all lowering fuel consumption by up to 2 per cent, reducing emissions and enhancing engine performance and robustness.

A variety of factors in the operation of a bus generate costs. And even if you do not have all these costs under control, you can still do something to ensure that your CapaCity runs cost-effectively. It is possible to actively influence more than one third of all costs accrued. When it comes to investment, consumption, maintenance and residual value, we can show you exactly where the overall economic advantages of our buses lie.

Economy is a question of technology. Each CapaCity adds a complete economic solution to your timetable. Innovative automotive engineering impresses through optimised perfor-mance, with BlueEfficiency drive technology for maximum drive efficiency, fully automatic transmission for first-class travelling comfort and the advanced portal axle for a speedier passenger flow.

Fuel saving cuts costs. Euro VI engines not only reduce pollutants to a minimum. They also reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, dramatically cut permanent operational costs. One factor responsible for this is the recuperation module. It supplies the vehicle electrical system with stored power which has been generated free of charge during deceleration. This takes the pressure of the engine and reduces fuel consumption by up to 3.6 per cent.

Thinking one step ahead—right from the outset. Quality and durability make the CapaCity a solid investment from the very outset. And our OMNIplus service contracts also ensure that your accounting is always on schedule. Regular maintenance ensures transparent costs and a predictable residual value at all times.

Efficiency—thanks to financial services. You can benefit from much more than the tech-nological advantages of the CapaCity. Attractive financing options and insurance solutions with premiums calculated to accurately reflect your individual usage ensure that you enjoy an economic edge.

Service wherever you need it. Mercedes buses are encountered on practically every road in Europe, which is also reason enough for us to provide the most dense service network specifically designed for buses. This ensures rapid assistance and minimal downtimes wher-ever the need arises. You can count on our 24h SERVICE for reliable 24/7 support.

Investments that really pay off. Our OMNIplus EcoTraining demonstrates that fuel effi-ciency and keeping to a schedule need not be a contradiction. In conjunction with Daimler FleetBoard Bus, efficient handling of the fleet can be enhanced on a sustainable level. And, should you wish, BusStore can also secure the residual value of your vehicle and buy it back at the end of a defined period of use.

ConsumptionAt 17 %, energy consumption is an important cost factor in your CapaCity. Reductions are not just good for your balance sheet. The environment also profits as a result. A perfect interaction of automotive engineering, intelligent analysis of driving behaviour and driver training adapted to this enables you to influence both these factors in a targeted manner.

Repair & maintenanceA bus only makes money when it moves. Unscheduled main- tenance increases downtimes and the effort involved in organising your fleet. Which is why Mercedes-Benz designs buses to ensure that repair and maintenance are as rare and brief as possible. Every component has an exception-ally long service life and is easily accessible. For example, all electrical cables have been relocated from the floor assembly to the ceiling midline. And, during the entire useful life of the vehicle, the OMNIplus service network is there to provide support with its 24h SERVICE.

InvestmentAn investment in a new bus is a decision that deserves careful planning. We listen very attentively to you to ensure that your needs are met and to find the vehicle that is absolutely right for you. The service package is also tai-lored to suit your operational requirements, with OMNIplus ExpertHandling Training*, OMNIplus service contracts, FleetBoard vehicle management and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. Through this complete service, we provide a solid basis to ensure that you enjoy maximum availability and operational readiness of your CapaCity at an attractive fixed price.

Residual valueA top-class bus is an investment in its successor, because the residual value of your bus is just as important as the original investment. BusStore can secure the residual value of your vehicle if you wish and buy it back at the end of a defined period of use. In addition, many vehicles have an EU-wide valid 12-month guarantee on the complete drivetrain and individual leasing and financing options through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.

Power for driving dynamics. Sensitivity for safety.

The CapaCity is the best evidence that vehicle size and nimbleness need not be a contradic-tion. Both models, the new CapaCity and the even longer CapaCity L, are incredibly easy to manoeuvre. At Mercedes-Benz, safety is always integrated as a standard feature.

Innovative ATC safety technology. The articulation turntable controller (ATC) ensures optimum steering behaviour and a high level of stability and manoeuvrability through articulation angle control. It speedily controls the hydraulic damping of the joint whenever needed. And should the articulated bus become unstable (e.g. due to ice on the road), damping of the joint can be rapidly actuated to counter this. The CapaCity is stabilised with impressive speed as a result in as far as is physically possible, or the rear of the vehicle can even be prevented from swinging out. ATC practically achieves the effect of an electronic stability program (ESP®) in this respect, and this further enhances the safety level of articulated buses. As a result, the steering behaviour of the CapaCity is practically equivalent to that of a rigid vehicle.

Better vision. More light. Greater safety.Monitoring and control made easy. A driver who is more concentrated contributes signif-icantly to driving safety. Mercedes-Benz innovations in the form of electronic aids provide him or her with the greatest possible support. All CapaCity doors have a reversing system and horizontal doorway monitoring. The third and fourth door is completely automatic, and a speedier passenger flow is achieved through double-leaf doors one to four. The interior space of these doors can also be monitored by video if desired to further assist the driver.

A complete overview in every situation. Video cameras are fitted at the rear of the CapaCity on the left and right. These enable the driver to check the slewing arc of the vehicle on leaving the bus stop and in traffic. A further two side cameras directly behind the joint aid monitoring of the rear end of the vehicle.

Caution through consideration. For additional safety during manoeuvring, Mercedes-Benz also offers optional reversing cameras to supplement the outer rear cameras. A continuous warning tone sounds here when the reverse gear is engaged. These aids allow the driver to master manoeuvring and reversing with ease.

See and be seen. A new optional feature on the CapaCity is the new long-life LED head-lamps. The light cone can be defined with particular accuracy, and the colour of the light is somewhat like daylight. The driver’s eyes tire less quickly as a result. Increased brightness and the greater range of the headlamps further enhance safety. When it comes to efficiency, the new LED headlamps also score top points, being around two to three times more effi-cient than conventional light bulbs.

Winding its way through the urban jungle.A single joint and impressive efficiency. In contrast to competitors, the new CapaCity and the CapaCity L only need a single joint, despite their considerable lengths. This makes them particularly easy to manoeuvre. In addition, this also reduces the scale of maintenance and ensures an exemplary level of reliability. Both contribute to the overall efficiency of large capacity buses.

Driving performance also means a comfortable ride. With a turning circle of 22.93 metres, the new CapaCity is almost as easy to handle as an articulated bus. The longer CapaCity L also impresses with a turning circle of only 24.47 metres. This surprising nimbleness is all due to the fourth axle with its electro-hydraulic control. Its independent suspension means it is unsurpassed in terms of comfort and driving safety.

The CapaCity not only has an impressive compartment capacity. It also scores points through its attractive, high-quality design and the comfort it provides for the passen-gers and driver.

Maximum space for maximum comfort. The attractive exterior already gives an indication of the quality awaiting inside this high-capacity bus. You can design the bright and roomy interior to reflect your individual wishes. The driver’s station reflects the latest ergonomic engineering, combining first-class functionality and a high degree of comfort. This is complemented by the pleasurable driving experience that the CapaCity achieves through its independent suspension. Regardless of the number of passengers or the condition of the road, the CapaCity is perfectly sprung in every situation.

True greatness, down to the smallest detail.

An expressively impressive interior.

The feel-good travelling factor. A trip in a CapaCity is also an enjoyably pleasant experience for passengers. The interior is both spacious and appealing, while the large panoramic windows and illuminated boarding area make the compartment both welcoming and pleasantly bright. The impressive standing height of 2.3 metres also conveys a feeling of airy spaciousness. A powerful auxiliary heating system and side-wall heaters ensure that a pleasant temperature is achieved rapidly. Hinged windows, air ducts, electric skylights and roof ventilators ensure an effective exchange of air. Where necessary, a well-designed air conditioning system is optionally available to achieve the right temperature in this large bus.

Individuality is also on board. A comprehensive range of special features allow you to model the CapaCity to your own personal taste. For example, in addition to ensuring safety, curved and clearly structured handrails also act as a visual aid to guide passen-gers through the bus. Exceptional flexibility allows you to design the handrail system and vehicle interior to reflect your wishes and meet your requirements. The same applies to the different seat designs which are optionally available and offer a broad selection of colours, patterns and materials. Low entrances and four wide double-leaf doors ensure an excellent passenger flow and facilitate boarding and alighting.

Functionality can really be this comfortable.

Enjoy the new. No readjustment required. Really practical advantages can be enjoyed in the CapaCity, as it features many familiar Citaro components. For example, the driver will be familiar with the spacious and ergonomic cockpit from the perfectly designed driver’s station in the Citaro. The driver in the CapaCity also sits on a raised platform at eye level with the passengers, ensuring excellent all-round vision. Important vehicle in-formation can be obtained at a glance on the colourful and clearly legible central display.

Mission-oriented for greater motivation. Functions can be rapidly and easily controlled through the multifunction steering wheel. It also has an additional pause setting and, in conjunction with the instrument panel, can be tilted and lowered to accommodate your individual needs. Practical stowage spaces ensure that the driver’s station remains clean and tidy. Independent suspension ensures that an excellent and completely differ-ent level of comfort is enjoyed. Front collision protection enhances the passive safety of the driver whenever this is needed.

The new CapaCity. As manoeuvrable as an artic-ulated bus. As spacious as a high-capacity bus.The new CapaCity broadens the choice of high-capacity buses available for urban transport routes with high passenger volumes. With a length of 19.73 metres, it closes the gap between the Citaro G articulated bus and the longer CapaCity L.

Speedier passenger flow. The new CapaCity is the ideal solution when the capacity of a conventional articulated bus has reached its limits and high passenger numbers need to be accommodated in the continually expanding environment of megacities. With 44 seats and 137 standing spaces, the standard version of the four-axle CapaCity already provides the carriage volume of a high-capacity bus. In addition, the four double-leaf passenger doors ensure a speedy passenger flow during boarding and alighting.

A focus on individuality. Your passengers will immediately feel comfortable in the spacious passenger compartment of the CapaCity. The interior can be designed and equipped to reflect your individual wishes and needs. Double-glazed side windows, air conditioning for the driver and passengers and TFT monitors for passenger information are only a few of the many options available. Additional special use areas can also be incorporated (e.g. on the right in front of the second door). Passengers with buggies, wheeled walkers or wheelchairs can be accommodated here with ease.

2928

The CapaCity L. Great tasks demand great thinking. Uniquely spacious, remarkably nimble. The CapaCity L is one of the largest city buses and the ideal choice wherever routes with high passenger volumes need to be serviced in heavily populated urban conurbations, particularly using bus rapid transit systems.

The CapaCity L sets standards. An impressive 21 metres from windscreen to tail lamp is a European record, as no other urban public service bus with a single joint is more spacious. The standard version of the CapaCity L can convey up to 191 passengers to their destination. And the driving dynamics, safety components and excellent manoeu-vrability ensure a memorable journey.

Individuality is also on board. You can lend your CapaCity L a special, uniquely distinctive look. Mercedes-Benz can offer you Metro or Tram design packages for this purpose which are designed to reflect the stylish shape and dimensions of this large bus. You also have a choice in the passenger compartment, as divisions and fittings can be individually adapted to suit your taste.
